I'm working on creating a book list on various topics critiquing/debunking claims (directly or indirectly) of secular/liberal views and teachings about the Bible and related topics. Specifically, I'm looking for preferably 1-2 books per topic, and my requirements are that the books be good quality, from a respected author, popular-level, hopefully not longer than 300 pages in length...in other words, a solid basic introduction to each subject. Any input on my list I'm working on below would be much appreciated!
(1) Young-Earth Creationism (evidence in support of YEC, as well as pointing out some basic problems with evolution) - "Faith, Form and Time" by Kurt Wise (with supplemental resource of the AIG website)
(2) Noah's Flood - "Pocket Guide to the Global Flood" by AIG??
(3) Messianic prophecies - "Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, Volume 3" by Michael Brown
(4) Documentary Hypothesis (arguing and presenting evidence for traditional authorship, debunking secular ideas, etc) - ??
(5) Archaeology - "The Popular Handbook of Archaeology and the Bible" by Joseph Holden and Norman Geisler
(6) Historical Jesus - ?? maybe "Reinventing Jesus" by Komoszewski, Sawyer, Wallace
(7) Authorship of New Testament writings (arguing and presenting evidence for traditional authorship) - ??
(8) Canon formation - "Canon Revisited" by Michael Kruger
(9) Resurrection - "The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus" by Gary Habermas and Michael Licona (with supplemental resource of Ehrman-Craig debate)
(10) Bible overview (something dealing with authorship, dating of writing, etc that critiques secular ideas - this could be longer than 300 pages, obviously) - ??
(11) Various Bible contradictions - "The Big Book of Bible Difficulties" by Thomas Howe and Norman Geisler
